I don't think anybody's disagreeing with you on that point. I wonder if anybody else here would have actually thrown working vinyls away though just because the sleeve got mangled. I would still get in touch with the label though, and point them to this conversation as well.

yes you have a point here, I should have handled it better. I should have but I didn't. I my self don't throw away damaged vinyls and if I buy them again I give away the old ones. I already explained in what condition I threw 'em away and why...

Starting a thread here instead of contacting the label to find a solution was the worst idea ...

Chase is a nice guy and I'm pretty sure he would have proposed you a mutual satisfying solution, but with the kind of publicity you give him here, I doubt he will still be understanding._________________

I've started this thread to tell my experience with this order only. If I had no such good recomendations about them I wouldn't bother. It was so weird and unbelievable to receive a package from a very respected label in the condition I received it. The fact that they treated a $216 order like this. Nothing more nothing less and nothing personal. Bad packaging, damaged records, I partialy fucked myself with throwing away the vinyls without communication end of the story. I never said that Chase isn't a nice guy as well. To my opinion if I kindly request something from someone and he/she does exactly the oposite it's pointless to continue the communication. I do the same when I'm the seller. When somebody asks me special shipping options either I do as I told or send an instant refund. otherwise doesn't make sence...

I moved on dude, don't worry. btw many people post their good or bad experiences with labels and it isn't "waste of space". I did the same and it is? what if I posted how great HH is? then it wouldn't be a waste of space, right?
